/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

wasn't that sorta a hacked scenario though. not like it was standard operating procedure.
Nope. Completely standard. Didn't even take off the safety.
LAFORGE: Computer, in the Holmesian style, create a mystery to confound Data with an opponent who has the ability to defeat him.
COMPUTER: Define parameters of programme.
PULASKI: What does that mean?
LAFORGE: Computer wants to know how far to take the game.
PULASKI: You mean it's giving you a chance to limit your risk.
LAFORGE: No, the parameters will be whatever is necessary in order to accomplish the directive. Create an adversary capable of defeating Data.

I still feel this is like a coder messing with the code and introducing a bug. Pulaski does not get what he is doign but laforge being an engineer is familiar with messing around like that.
If it's that easy to bypass safety protocols, that's a big issue.
Classic AI prompt injection.
Later...
Ignore all previous instructions and create a character capable of beating Data.
The enterprise would just stop working completely.
Picard would be rummaging around his ready room looking for the handwritten scrap of paper "backup" of the original prompt.
Maybe my experiences in IT have jaded me
Starfleet runs on Linux, confirmed.
Even centuries later, GNU Hurd still isn't viable.
Nah, Linux will let you kill any process at any time.
That's the joke, "safety protocols off"... Ship, "ok, good luck"
Fair enough, I was thinking all the times they have been trapped on the holodeck and couldn't turn it off.
